For anyone who has not yet read this contemporary giant I would strongly recommend picking up one of his book, like for example "The naked and the dead" about the second world war in the pacific, or "the Patriot" about the life of a CIA operative. Another gem is the much overlooked "Gospel according to Jesus" which is a small masterpiece in my opinion.
Mailers clear crisp prose is very engrossing and one of few present day writers that can even approach the mastery of Dostojevski.
